Iquitos, Peru (pop. 500,000) is the largest city in the world that is not accessible by road. This isolation has created several difficulties for the people of the region. As a result, Iquitos is now a hot spot for many societal ills such as drugs, prostitution, and child trafficking.
Statistics from 2014 reveal that 42% live in poverty , 45% of households do not have running water, and 25% of children are malnourished. Sadly, the most vulnerable suffer the greatest, experiencing abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. Unfortunately, these most vulnerable people are usually children.
IMPACTHOPE opened our first home in January 2020 (Tat’s Place) in Puerto Maldonado, Peru. Hogar Genesis, in Iquitos, will be our second home for children at risk. While we want to open Hogar Genesis as soon as possible, government regulations require that we raise $65,000 USD for the first-year projected operating expenses. As of January 2021, we have raised over $15,000 USD of the $65,000 needed!
Your donation of $25, $50, $100, $500 or more will provide security and hope for a better life for these children caught in the vicious cycle of poverty. In conjunction with Hogar Genesis, PROJECT HOPE is a special fund created for the opening of the home. Why? Because every child deserves hope for a better future! Will you partner with us to bring hope to a child today?
